An angry girl bit a flight attendant and threatened passengers, causing a flight from Miami to New Jersey to be delayed.
In detail, a United Airlines flight was stopped in Orlando on Tuesday night due to an "aggressive passenger," the company confirmed to news agencies.
The incident occurred on board Flight 762 from Miami to Newark, New Jersey.
The angry passenger began screaming at others while crews tried to control her using plastic handcuffs.
While her wrists were being handcuffed, the woman bit a flight attendant on the shoulder, tearing fabric from his uniform.
As a result of this incident, the flight was delayed by about three and a half hours.
A woman's mid-flight meltdown led to her biting a chunk of fabric out of a flight attendant's shirt.

We are grateful to our team for their professionalism and concern for the safety of our customers and fellow United employees.”
